Nagano Daiichi Hotel

While the hotel may show signs of age, it offers a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Good location. One of the highlights is the rooftop outdoor onsen, which provides a relaxing experience with a stunning view. The lobby features a convenient vending machine offering free coffee, tea, and drinks. The breakfast may be simple, but it is hearty and satisfying. Above all, the standout feature is the exceptional service from the staff. They are incredibly helpful, and the restaurant team is outstanding as well. Kudos to the entire team for making the stay so enjoyable and memorable.

The hotel is close to the Nagano station and is easily accessed by foot. The room was small, but comfy and it had everything I needed inside, like kettle, AC, hair dryer, etc. I really enjoyed the public bath here, the men's bath on the rooftop is actually very nice (don't know about the women's though). Also there's a machine with free drinks with a rich choice of coffee, tea and other soft drinks. The breakfast was okay, nothing special, but not a bad one. The staff were nice and helpful, they even agreed to keep my baggage for some time after I checked out so I could walk a bit more around the city.

Rooftop sento (for men) overviewing Nagano skyline, local and generous breakfast, free snacks (brought to the room) and drinks (lobby vending machine, right beside main train station and nightlife, helpful staff.

The room was great, the beds were comfy and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend if you stay in Nagano for a day or two and want to explore the mountains nearby as it's only a 5min walk to the closest JR or local train stations. Until next time!

The staff Went out of their way to help me out and make sure my stay was great. The location on point, everything was clean. Good room size, had all that's needed and the price was very good on cost/performance.
